The Knight
She was alone in a cold world of abuse from the people who were supposed to love and protect her. Her mother who never protected her, who abused her in ways a mother never should. A partner that grew to hate her despite doing her best to keep him happy. A father who was there but not present in the way he should have been. Her heart cold and bitter, closed off to everyone swearing to never open herself to anyone ever again. Yet she was always screaming on the inside for someone to save her. Men she had trusted betrayed her and used her, women using her to achieve their own goals. There was little left of her heart, the only love she gave was to her own daughter. Until one night she met him. She didn’t know it yet but he would be the one to save her. He would be the one to put the warmth and trust back into her heart. He was the one she had been internally screaming for but had eventually given up on.

Relationships
Perhaps because of a rough upbringing and falling out with my father, I've had a tendency to feel that once I was in a relationship, that was the end; The end to all my struggle, pain, confusion, hardship, and worry. Now that I am single and alone (never truly alone due to friends), the absence of self-induced drama due to having rushed, over-the-top feelings for a guy I hardly knew, has brought much silence in my life.

Angel Of Self Sabotage
Where do I begin to start this story? I could start at the very beginning or I could start at where it all went wrong. Well here goes nothing. My name is Angel, ironic right?! Born and raised in a small town not even on the map. I’m the middle child of three. I guess you can say I’m the child that stayed even when I wanted, neededed, and desired to leave and venture out into the great wild unknown. My life as one would call it could be summed up in a few short words “Ok but not GREAT”. It all started when I came across this wonderful but toxic person named Derrick. Derrick was a musician extremely talented but flawed in every way. He was quiet and I was the exact opposite. Let’s just say I broke him out of that shell. He didn’t treat me right but because I was in love I wanted and needed things to work out. He had a very violent temper. When angered he would hit me and verbally abuse me but because I was blindly inlove I stayed. Never realizing my worth at all. He would hide the acts of abuse with writing me music and singing to me to soothe over the wrongbhe had done. And like the magician he was it woulf work. Hearing him sing woukd wash over me like waves on a beach and I would just fall back into the transe like putty in his hands. Then the cheating started. He was very flirtatious and it would drive me up a damn wall. The multiple phone calls, the hidden text messages, the videos now don’t get me started in the videos that were sent. I wasn’t aware of any of it until my phone got messed up and Derrick offered to let me use his until I got a new one. That’s when shit hit the fan!! I confronted him about it and he denied it all and it tore my heart out of my chest. Oh I forgot to mention one thing I was living with Derrick at this moment in my life. So yea things were very complicated And I mean COMPLETELY COMPLICATED. I couldn’t go home, my mom and I had a argument that resulted in her kicking me out and when the dust settled it came out that she misplaced when she accused me of taking and I wasn’t going back without an apology. Call me stubborn, call me bullheaded, say whatever you want I deserved an apology. But with my mother being the way she is I knew I would never get that even if I begged. Now back to Derrick, he just kept on lying as if I didn’t know what was going on with him and Jalissa. She was pretty and extremely talented in her own right!! But you know she wasn’t me. Like she was cute but there wasn’t anything that just made me think like damn she is hot. I hate when women do that when it comes to others, but here I am doing that to Jalissa. I’m such a hypocrite. Ugh I was emotionally all over the place. One night Jalissa invited me and Derrick over to her one bedroom apartment and I purposefully got drunk just to see what would happen between them. There they were laying in the floor facing each other and I heard Derrick say I was a charity case as well as desperate ex who couldn’t let go. My soul was crushed. Like how could he say that about me? How could he form those words about me? When he was the one telling me that he wanted to marry me, be with me, have a family with me, and have forever with me!!! That’s the night I also found out that they had been hooking up behind my back when he would tell me that they were working on music together. She called him sugar lips and he called her his musically inclined angel. My heart was broken but I still wanted a family with him what was I suppose to do?! I was between a rock and a hard place.

How To Keep Falling: 10 Rules For Lasting Relationships
It’s rather unfortunate, then, that there’s no college class or crash course to teach us how to maintain healthy relationships. Society just kind of expects us to get relationships right through trial and error, and I’m sure that’s led to immeasurable amounts of heartbreak throughout human history. Just look at the plays of Shakespeare or any one of the Greek tragedies, and you’ll see what I mean.
